How can a small group of students make an impact on the most daunting environmental challenges facing our planet? Portland High School students in the school’s environmental club reflect wistfully on the fact that, despite the positive work they have done at their school, confronting global warming requires much larger systemic changes. This is an honest piece about that sinking “but I’m just one person,” feeling that all of us – from activists to the average person – get from time to time when thinking about the problems facing our world. One small suggestion for improvement would be to add a bit of music – some intro and outro music would make a nice addition.
